General Questions

What should I expect during a headshot or portrait session?

During your session, I’ll guide you through poses and expressions to ensure you feel comfortable and confident. My goal is to capture authentic, joyful moments that showcase your personality. Sessions are relaxed, collaborative, and tailored to your needs.

How long does a typical session last?

Most headshot sessions last about 30-60 minutes, while portrait sessions can range from 1-2 hours depending on the location and number of outfit changes.

Where do the sessions take place?

Sessions can be held at a location of your choice, whether it’s an outdoor setting, your home, or another spot that feels meaningful to you. I also offer studio options for those looking for a more traditional or professional backdrop.

Do you offer studio or outdoor sessions for headshots?

You can choose between studio sessions for a classic, professional look or outdoor sessions for a more relaxed and natural vibe. I'm happy to discuss what best suits your goals.

Can I bring a friend or family member to the session?

Absolutely! Having someone you trust can make the experience more enjoyable and help you feel at ease. Just let me know in advance if someone will be joining us.

Preparation

What should I wear for my headshots or portraits?

Wear something that makes you feel confident and represents your personality or profession. Solid colors and simple patterns tend to photograph best, and layering or accessorizing can add depth. Avoid overly busy prints or logos, unless they're integral to your personal or professional brand.

Do you provide hair and makeup services?

I don’t provide hair and makeup services directly, but I can recommend trusted professionals who specialize in photography-friendly looks. A polished, natural appearance is ideal for headshots and portraits.

How should I prepare for my session?

Make sure your outfit is clean and wrinkle-free, and consider practicing a few expressions in the mirror to get comfortable. Stay hydrated, get a good night's sleep, and bring any items or props that reflect your style or story.

Can I bring props or items that represent my personality or profession?

Props can add a personal touch to your photos and make them more unique. Whether it’s a musical instrument, a favorite book, or tools of your trade, we’ll incorporate them naturally into the session.

Do you offer guidance on posing during the session?

I’ll provide clear instructions and work with you to find poses and angles that highlight your best features. My goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere so your natural expressions shine through.

Customization

Can I choose the background or setting for my photos?

We can work together to select a background or setting that suits your vision, whether it’s a clean studio backdrop, a vibrant outdoor scene, or a location meaningful to you.

Do you offer packages with multiple outfit changes?

Of course. Changing outfits can be a wonderful way to capture professional, casual, or creative looks all in one session. If you'd like to try a few outfits, we can schedule an amount of time to your shoot that seems appropriate for your needs.

Can you customize the style or mood of the session?

Whether you’re looking for something classic, candid, or more artistic, I’ll tailor the session to match your style and preferences. We’ll discuss your goals in detail before the shoot to ensure your vision comes to life.

Do you provide creative direction for unique or artsy portraits?

I love adding an artistic touch to portraits. We can explore creative lighting, angles, or sets that make your photos stand out and truly reflect your personality.

Do you offer corporate headshots for teams or businesses?

Yes, I provide corporate headshots for individuals, teams, and businesses. Whether it’s on-site at your office or in the studio, I’ll ensure everyone looks polished and professional while capturing their individuality.

After the Session

How long does it take to receive my photos?

You can expect to receive your edited photos within a couple of weeks after the session depending on my work load. If you need them sooner, let me know—sometimes I can even accommodate rush requests.

Do you offer retouching or editing services?

Yes, all final images include professional retouching to ensure you look your best while still looking natural. This includes adjustments for lighting, color, and minor touch-ups.

How will I receive my final images?

Your images will be delivered through a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your photos. Prints and additional formats are also available upon request.

Can I request additional edits after I see the proofs

If you have specific requests after seeing your proofs, I’ll do my best to accommodate them. Additional edits may incur a fee, depending on the complexity.

What is your policy if I need to reschedule or cancel my session?

Typically I'll ask for a deposit up front to keep a date open for you, but life happens to all of us. Let me know and we'll work something out that is fair to both of us.
